Living Seas Trips to Sipadan 2010

Hello Everyone,

I know a lot of you have been asking about our Sipadan trips this year. Sorry about taking so long, but I've just heard back from the resorts and here are the details that I have for both of our trips this year.

Our first trip to Sipadan will be over the Good Friday holidays in April from the 1st to the 6th of April. The second trip is over Vesak Day and is from the 27th of May to the 1st of June.

Due to the fact that both these trips are over public holidays, I'm having a bit of trouble in securing spaces at the resort. I've managed to reserve 10 spaces for both trips but the resort is asking for full payment in order to confirm the spaces for us. Because of this, I'm afraid that I'll need confirmations and payments as soon as possible in order to get a space on these trips.

If you feel you can commit to either of these trips, please let me know as soon as you can, and I'll send over an invoice to you. Once payment is made, your space will be confirmed. However, I understand that these trips are still a few months away, and it may be difficult to foresee what may happen in these few months. Due to this, I promise that I'll refund any payments made for these trips if you really cannot make the trip later on, provided there is someone else available to take your space.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll be happy to help answer them.

On another note, I know many of you are also interested in going to Layang Layang, and I'm still ironing out details with them. I hope to have them ready for you soon, along with details on our Manado and Bali trips as well.
